JS Kabylie welcome ES Setif on Saturday, Mar 13 at 5:00 PM in a Ligue 1 fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

JS Kabylie come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 1L). ES Setif travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Despite playing at home, JS Kabylie face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. ES Setif have won 4 of 10 encounters, with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in JS Kabylie won 5–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives JS Kabylie a slight edge, but ES Setif are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
